the a mince knowledge base was all in favor of ratification those over the years for the united states government who had responsibility for nuclear weapons and for strategies and for foreign policy all were overwhelmingly in support of this if for no other reason than it was clearly in the interest of the united states as well as russia so i think in the end. which is always supposed to be the case in theory that knowledge and information won out over politics what is good i mean do you think for president obama now that he's succeeded in pushing this treaty through his. well of course this is a significant accomplishment for this new president but i think as he indicated this was an issue that was about the future of america the future of the world this was a treaty that was about the interests of our country far above the political interests of any president or any member of congress or any political party yes he deserves a great amount of support on this and acknowledgement but so do a lot of people but like in any country or in any institution it requires a leader he's been immensely focused

united states at the u.n. we have an interesting clip on this issue there was a systematic program by the united states government in particular its intelligence agencies to you if you choose from baltic states including criminals or people who collaborated with the nazis during the war for intelligence purposes what this has created is a situation. if there is a person who claims to be a freedom fighter or an anti communist from eastern europe that person in the us media tends to be automatically regarded with respect to even as a hero. reality a significant portion of those people had in fact collaborated with the nazis this is something that the united states is really so far staying silent about and strangely especially when the cause is so straightforward as fighting the glorification of naziism. up next georgia's opposition leader talks starting you know there was an oscar recently totters then availing of a monument to world war two soldiers lost to georgia destroyed a memorial to make way for government buildings despite protests has been telling oksana boyko that her country has an unusual democracy. jus

putting huge amounts of material out there it does make the conduct of foreign policy for the united states government much more difficult when they don't feel like they can have any sort of private conversations it's no secret that diplomats in private are not nearly so diplomatic as they are and well i think that's been made obvious here by the very frankly had i thought you knew that but who are these diplomats here because one thing right is that everybody is saying that this really puts into question america's diplomacy with the rest of the world but i mean are these just kind of low level guys were going through a scene that was recorded here and there it was a really really get over it and it's you know it's a little bear it's all awkward to have boost sort of unflattering things come out in public that you thought were going to be private but the real problem here is that the united states if it wants to conduct diplomacy in secret needs to learn how to keep it secret and they haven't adapted to the information age the fact that a low level person could get access to hundreds of thousands of p
